It's easy to set up a wiki installation on a web site.

It's hard - much more difficult than you probably think - to take the next steps of:

  • protecting from spam and vandalism
  • continuing to develop the site
  • finding content
  • creating community
  • managing the content for quality and structure

These things take a huge amount of collective work.

It is a rare community that has even one obsessive wiki admin/contributor, let alone the half dozen or more that are needed to make a successful wiki.

Think globally - collaborate don't compete

Collaboration and competition are both powerful creative forces in nature and society. They each have their place - but the nature of wikis is radical collaboration.
